= How do I make my site a Drupal site? =

If you already have an existing site setup at May First/People Link, you should [wiki:create_hosting_order create a new hosting order] for your Drupal installation. Then, you can more easily migrate your existing site to your new Drupal site.

If you are starting from scratch, you can enable Drupal by following these directions:

 * [wiki:secure_shell Secure shell] to your primary server.

 * Run the command:
{{{
mf-drupalize
}}}

You will be prompted to create a database and database user (be sure to record the names of the database, database user, and database password).

When you are done you will be prompted to open a web browser to complete the installation.

== How to I remove a Drupal installation ==

We do not have an automated way to remove a Drupal installation.

You can do it manually by following these steps.

 * Change into your web directory
 * Remove the following files and directories:
{{{
.htaccess
cron.drupal.php
cron.php
includes
index.drupal.php
index.php
install.drupal.php
install.php
misc
modules
profiles
scripts
sites
themes
update.drupal.php
update.php
xmlrpc.drupal.php
xmlrpc.php
}}}
	* Please post a ticket to have your database dropped for you.

== Notes for MFPL administrators ==

You can no longer run mf-drupalize as the root user. 

Instead, first create the database by running `mf-mysql-create` (as root). Then:

{{{
su <user-that-owns-web-site-to-be-created> -
mf-drupalize
}}}

Press n when prompted to create the database.
